Crimson Peak Main Titles

In a world of main-on-end credits, it’s refreshing to see prominent directors like Guillermo Del Toro embracing the power of opening credits to usher audiences from their ordinary lives into the realm of the film they’re about to see.

And this meticulously crafted, 100% CG sequence for Crimson Peak directed by IAMSTATIC and produced by Topix does exactly that.

Working for over five months, the team designed a series of vignettes that function on two levels. Independently, they are portraits of characters in the film, each object a clue to a personality or backstory. Collectively, they interlock to form an otherworldly sense of place, pulling the viewer deep into Del Toro’s Victorian universe.
